Princeton Students in Quantum

Jeremiah Coleman

President | Graduate

Jeremiah is a fourth year PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He is working in the Houck Lab on fabricating novel junctions such as quantum phase slip wires for new protected superconducting qubits to be used in quantum error correction. He has experience designing benchmarking protocols for quantum computers with the QED-C and quantum circuit design software at Google Quantum AI. He received his undergraduate degrees at Stanford and was the former President of the Stanford Quantum Computing Association.

Elizabeth Medina

Social and Outreach Officer | Undergraduate

Elizabeth is a senior in the ECE department on the Quantum Information and Applied Physics track. She’s eager to introduce other students to the weird, yet brilliant, world of quantum and is looking forward to getting to know the rest of the club members. These days, you can find her working on her thesis in Princeton’s Houck Lab. In her free time, she enjoys playing the ukulele and making digital art (including cartoons for the Daily Princetonian).

Shashwat Kumar

General Events Officer | Graduate

Shashwat is a third year PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He works on quantum computing with superconducting qubits in the Houck Lab. He is interested in novel qubit designs and intrinsically error-protected qubits.

Eric Jung

General Events Officer | Undergraduate

Hello, my name is Eric Yale Jung and I am a sophomore in the COS BSE department. I find the hardware and physics of quantum computing very fascinating, but my interests mostly lie in the pseudo-theoretical algorithms and programming/software aspects. I hope to be involved in and pursue the field of quantum computer science in the future.

Athan Zhang

Events Planning Officer | Undergraduate

Athan is a Computer Science major at Princeton with side interests in Quantum Computing and Optimization. His passion for Quantum started in high school, where he was one of six juniors in his Electrodynamics class and completed research using VQAs to identify time-series anomalies in cryptocurrency prices for his senior research project. He’s self driven, being an avid member of the Qiskit community and school.
